I am 76, I spent 26 years in combat boots. My feet and legs hurt all the time. A number of years ago my wife tricked me into a nail salon, my life was forever changed in that 30 minutes of soaking feet, nail trimming, foot and leg massage. Now I try to go about once a month. I highly recommend it. Dont worry gents it won't turn you into a wuss.
I have been in a nail salon and men were getting pedicures. One man was with his wife and they were getting ready to go to the beach. He chose green for his toenail color! Said, why not!
My dad enjoyed going to and yes he was the farthest thing from a wuss. They took really good care of his feet. I’ve tried to talk my husband into it but so far no luck. He spent 20 years in combat boots and longer in cowboy boots/work boots. Thank you for your service.
Your description of the salon was just like every other one across America, where the worst feet in the world reside?! I applaud you for treating Becca to a pedicure! Were you and Hai the only men there? I think you should have given in and let Hai do your toenails too!
Guaranteed now that you have Becca hooked, she’ll be wanting you to take her again, and this time Hai may literally not let you say no. I can hardly wait to hear how much your feet enjoyed being pampered!
I had a knee replacement years ago and asked my wife if she would clip my toenails. She loaded me up in the car and took me to her nail salon. I kept going till the pandemic hit and I started clipping my toenails. Got an ingrown toenail and that sent me to a foot doctor. After healing up they informed me that Medicare would pay for my toenails to be clipped. Literally, they would clip them for free or at least I wouldn't have to pay for them. No fancy color but they are clipped. Not my usual reply but I can just do so much when talking about my toes.
So true….so funny! Pedicure story was painted perfectly! Hard to say what the best part is when visiting a nail salon…..the leg message…..hot comforting towels ….kneading in the back by the overactive chairs…..and lots of talk and entertainment all around you! Walls of nail colors and Becca chose “adult” red! She lives vibrantly so good choice! Enjoyed ending my day with this visit shared with Sean and Becca!
I’ve never met Becca but I can just imagine, from your stories and descriptions of her, hearing her say literally in the middle of every sentence! I sure wish I could you and her and all your clan. Maybe someday.
My Florida grandkids, ages 9 and almost 7, use the word “literally” liberally.
The 7-year-old loves pedicures, manicures and princess dresses — along with climbing trees, chasing lizards and hunting for snakes. She’s fearless, that one.

Thank you, Edward, for sharing what most men are missing out on.
Good for your wife to trick you, good for you to go through with it, and good for you to share!
Too late. I’m already a wuss.
Well even a wuss can draw some pleasure from a "pedi".
:-)

Tawanah, I once had my right big toe painted as a scuba dive flag, red with a diagonal white stripe. I received some hilarious comments.

I tricked mine, too.
Do it, Sean! You and Becca can get your toes done at the same time, and it will literally be the best thing you’ve ever experienced!
I just love Becca ... literally.
Thanks, Sean, for this lovely visit to the nail salon, a place I've never graced and most likely never will.
Next time, Sean, get the pedi! No color if you don’t want it! The foot and leg massage are priceless. You can say Becca made you! 😊
Becca is such a blessing in the lives of you and Jaime! Thank you for making that sweet child feel like a princess for the afternoon!!!💕💕
She is a princess.
Literally, what an incredible time for Becca. Who knows, maybe you’ll get that second date with Hai.
😂😂

Useful info. Will tell my husband.
No- Paul treat yourself to a pedicure- get “ the works!!” Thank me later! lol.
You guys are the perfect pair. A blossoming pre-teen and her doting godfather. Literally perfect. Or maybe figuratively. Whatever!

Using my favorite southern words-
“Bless your heart” Sean.
You need to be an active participant next time & believe me, there will be a next time.
But red might not be the best color for you- try green… redheads look good in dark green or orange.
Sean, your are such a good sport buy you should’ve literally gotten a pedi with Becca!
Oh that is such a sweet story! I just needed a good Becca tale today! Thank you, Sean!! Perhaps I need a pedicure too
Hilarious and so charming!!
